A diagram of an experimental evolution study on the effects of relatedness on the evolution of cheaters in D. discoideum

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Kuzdzal-Fick et al. experimentally evolved replicate lines of D. discoideum under treatments enforcing low relatedness. Transfers were performed using 106 spores gathered from across the plate, effectively mixing the population each transfer. Cheater mutants were repeatedly exposed to new partners to exploit and so prospered. Obligate cheaters incapable of fruiting on their own readily evolved. Eventually, the pressure exerted by cheaters caused other genotypes to evolve ‘noble resistance’ – these strains could resist cheating without being cheaters themselves.
